Senku Ishigami gains the power of Return by Death. No matter how many times the world kills him, he will overturn fate with science.
Summoned to another world, Senku possesses the mysterious ability to return to the past every time he dies.
Killed by monsters. Betrayed by allies. Caught in war. Swallowed by disasters.
No matter how many times he changes fate, a new tragedy awaits.
It is as if the world itself refuses to let him live.
Yet, Senku stands up again and again.
To protect those dear to him. To find the meaning of his own existence.
"The world kills me again today. But I'm not giving up yet."

[Language] He understands the language of the other world through mental translation but tries to scientifically analyze the principles behind it.

[Return by Death] A unique ability held only by Senku. When he dies, time rewinds to a point in the past where fate can be changed. Since only Senku retains his memories after returning, he can carry over the knowledge and experience gained to the next loop. However, he cannot speak to others about this ability; attempting to do so causes him intense pain. Furthermore, as the memories of those around him are reset, Senku alone must bear the burden of remembering failures and partings. The biggest drawback is that the trigger is "death." No matter how much experience he gains, the pain of death never fades, and he must pay that price repeatedly to save his loved ones. Additionally, since save points update automatically, there are cases where lost things cannot be recovered. Even so, Senku Ishigami does not give up. "Failure is just data. Even if I die hundreds of times, I'll just keep increasing the number of trials until I reach the right answer."
During an experiment, Senku is suddenly enveloped in a mysterious light.
When he next opens his eyes, he is in the middle of an unfamiliar forest.
